Pretty much.
It came in contact with water, now it doesn't boot. It used to, but the touchscreen didn't work so it was useless.
It pretty much just charges and stays in an endless bootloop.
I can get to download mode every now and then, but when I choose to go to recovery mode, it just goes back to the bootloop.
So yeah, am I able to access usb storage from download mode on my computer?
You could try reflashing the recovery partition using fastboot while in bootloader mode to see if that fixes recovery mode.

Odin crashed while I was flashing back to an eclair rom and now download or recovery won't work. I'm stuck at Phone-!-Computer. What do I do now!?
Does that Jig thing work or should I give my phone into be serviced?
Help me XDA!!
remove the battery for 10-15 minutes, and put it back in. try to enter download mode Volume Down+Home+Power
You don't need recovery mode to flash something, you need download mode (which normally should work). If you can enter download mode, you can flash a stock rom and it should be sorted.
If the "flash" process got interrupted when it was about to flash the bootloader, there might not be very much you could do, since without that bootloader you can't actually boot into neither download nor recovery, but since that image is really small, the chance that it got interrupted there is very small.
A couple of days ago I rooted my phone, and now my phone is stuck on "Galaxy S GT-I9000" boot screen, stays on that screen for about a minute, and restarts, and gets to the same "Galaxy S GT-I9000" screen. It loops forever, until I take out the battery.
I cant get the phone in recovery mode, I cant enter download mode, and the phone isn`t recognised by the pc, it only charges when connected to a pc with usb.
I`ve tried two different computers, no good.
Odin don`t find the phone, so flash is out of the question I guess. Any help here, is it possible to fix?
Thanks in advance

Download mode recovery jig .
Need to access download recovery or take phone to a service centre as first step .
jje
Is the only way to make a jig or to send it to service?
Unless you can put a file on the phone by some other means and then enter recover mode .
Recover mode install file transferred from PC and install .
Odin access download mode and install firmware from PC .
Or Harry Potter Mode .
jje
Can I use the sd card and use recovery mode from that? I mean, can I transfer som files to the sd card, insert that in the phone and enter recovery mode or download mode?
Just asking
You say you can not get to download mode or recovery mode .
If the phone was bootable then you can put files on external sd card copy them in phone to internal sd card .
Reasonably certain that recovery has no option to use external card as source .

You pressend volume down button and Power button to get into download mode?
If this does not work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
If you get into this mode, please have a look on this post:

Ok, then the only option is to send the phone to Samsung for repairs, incredibly boring.
I can not understand why I can`t get into recovery mode or the download mode, 3-button combination did work the other day, but now it no longer works.

You can - you need a special USB plug, just read my post above yours
I do know about the usb jig, I guess that is my only option.
Well, thanks for helping out
Hi everyone,
After trying to flash the latest SlimBean rom on my Galaxy S, I ended up with a boot loop and no more recovery mode. I can always access to the Download mode but my computer doesn't recognize my phone when I plug it in, so I can't flash a new kernel to retrieve the recovery (thing that I had already successfully done before). When connecting the phone to the PC, no sign of life, no noise, no new device in the device manager... Tested on another PC, same thing (I did not test with another cable though, it could come from there, but it is doubtful). Drivers are up to date, it works with other phones.
I also tried with Heimdall, nothing appears in the USB device list relating to my phone (not surprising though).
I saved my GS a lot of times before, but this time I am stuck with this... Any idea or it is just hopeless ?
Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work !
Are you sure no recovery as you need to flash it twice due to partition changes make sure you hold volume down home and power until the screen flashes then let go of them its guaranteed to get recovery if its there
Sent via that ninja standing right behind you
Yes I'm sure, if I hold down-home-power I can access to the download mode. If I hold up-home-power (like I used to do to enter the recovery mode) it just keeps boot looping.
OK well you will need to try a different computer I guess one that detects your phone

you may try this way,
Boot to recovery mode without SIM card and memory card.
I was running SlimICS v4.2 for a few months, didn't have any problems.
But yesterday my battery was empty and when i charged the phone, it went to download mode.(downloading.. Android dude with shovel)
So to get out of download mode I pulled the battery, but it didn't work. Next I flashed it back to stock(2.3.3), the phone finally started and everything looked normal, but now everytime when i turn the phone off it goes into download mode. The only way to fix it is to reflash every time. So is there a way to get out of download mode without having to reflash everytime? (and reinstall all my apps and passwords etc)
which recovery mode you use? Have you tried to change recovery mode?
a few months ago I´m stuck with getting out from recovery mode (" reboot system" boot me back recovery mode) . I use old TWRP and then I instlled latest version and then it workt.
Just one idea.

I use CWM recovery. But I'm unable to boot into recovery. When I press the power button to turn it off and after that hold the combination to go into recovery mode, it goes into download mode.
A lot of the firmware files on here are no longer hosted at the links provided, so I'm having trouble finding stock firmware to revert to. I did find a one click tool, but it seems to require download mode to function, and I can't get into download mode.
At the top of my recovery mode screen, it says:
Android system recovery <3e>
LRX21V.N900AUCUE0C1
I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of some stock firmware to revert to by sideloading over adb, since that's the only useful option in my recovery mode.
Options:
reboot system now (goes to a black screen, hangs, eventually reboots again back into recovery)
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset (Didn't help)
wipe cache partition (Didn't help)
reboot to bootloader (goes right back to recovery)
power down
view recovery logs
Enable cp logging
Disable cp logging
Any idea what cause this to happen? Do you have access to a USB jig to try?
I know you're saying you can't get into download mode, have you tried doing a battery pull, fully discharging by holding down the power button for a few seconds, then putting the battery back in, then holding Power button+Volume Down+Home? Remember to keep holding it down until you see Download Mode.
Edit:
Also adding, I believe download mode is actually part of the bootloader, and the bootloader is locked on this phone. If you cannot access Download mode that might mean that those files are corrupt. I could very much be wrong but that is my best guess. Hopefully someone else can confirm or deny this.
